Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time

Patton Oswalt focuses on depression in this bit from his new stand-up special, and Oswalt demonstrates how having a daughter has made him work harder to find new ways to make him feel like everything can still be meaningless. Comedy Central has added some animation to the bit to help bring to life some of the misery. See that above.

Patton Oswalt will be releasing his new stand-up comedy special this year and it will premiere on Comedy Central next month. To help promote the broadcast, Oswalt as True Detective‘s Rust Cohle (look like a spot-on replacement for Matthew McConaughey) explains the intricate relationships between tragedy, comedy and time. See that clip above.
